( laughter ) now, according to some obscure the u.s. constitution, denying rights to a specific minority group is illegal. so governor fallon is ensuring that all okla-humans are treated equally by ordering state-owned national guard facilities to stop processing all military spouse benefits. now, every oklahoma national guard member will have to travel to a federally run facility to apply for benefits. in some cases, that would be an additional four-hour road trip. it will be fun. you can play a game of eye spy and arbitrary denial of my rights. ( laughter ) now, governor fallon is setting a great precedent here. rather than provide any services for gay people, the government should refuse to provide them for everyone. be
